Chapter 832: Auspicious or Ominous Divination

Upon seeing that smug grin and "acting young" V-sign, Kongwang's expression immediately soured.

"You?!" Kongwang's voice was as cold as frost.

"It seems I've arrived just in time," Sun Bumian said leisurely. "Others might not know your secrets, or they might be completely defeated by a single move from you... but I've long since figured out the so-called 'divine abilities' of your Ghost God Path."

Kongwang seemed to recall something and did not attempt to refute. He merely tightened the chains in his hands, and an unprecedented killing intent burst forth from his Yin-Yang eyes for the very first time!

"So what?" Kongwang said coldly. "You refuse to walk a life free of disaster and hardship, insisting instead on coming here to seek your demise... Today, I will shatter your soul and completely sever your path of reincarnation!"

The chains around Kongwang instantly burst with dazzling light, and the army of souls floating in the air began to stir. The souls that were previously sweeping the ground dimmed slightly as almost all the surrounding soul power surged into another soul.

A domain rapidly spread open from around Kongwang!

In an instant, everything around seemed covered by a hazy veil. Colors steadily faded, and black and white dominated most of the space. The stones originally scattered on the ground gradually dimmed and vanished within this veil, replaced only by neat characters written in ink:

Stone.

Jian Changsheng stood within the domain, frowning as he surveyed his surroundings.

Besides the stones, the distant tall tower was also replaced by a character of the same size: "Tower." And then there were also characters for lights, clothes, gears, steel fragments, flames...

All matter within this domain was replaced by tangible characters. These characters seemed alive, gently fluttering with Kongwang's aura, as if breathing.

"What the hell is this?!" Jian Changsheng asked, frowning.

"These are the domains of those souls from when they were alive," Sun Bumian calmly explained. "The Ghost God Path can, at the cost of consuming souls, allow captured souls to temporarily regain their powers from life, but only one can be activated at a time... For instance, since he has now activated the domain of the Book God Path, he can no longer use the powers of the Strength God Path."

Before Jian Changsheng could react, Kongwang raised a hand and pointed. All the characters seemed to receive a command, trembling slightly, then sweeping towards Sun Bumian from all directions!

Stones, blade edges, raging fire, skulls of corpses, Jian Changsheng's sword, Jian Changsheng's shoes, the saliva Jian Changsheng spat out when cursing...

These characters interwove, most retaining the properties of the materials they represented. Some were incredibly sharp, others blazing hot like fire. A surging killing intent instantly locked onto Sun Bumian from all directions, leaving him no blind spots.

Behind his sunglasses, Sun Bumian's eyes calmly swept across his surroundings. He let out a helpless "tsk"...

"Can't dodge it... Well, I'll just make do."

Sun Bumian took a deep breath and tossed the lion dance head he was holding upwards. Its realistic fur gently danced in the wind. The next moment, an aura erupted from within Sun Bumian's body!

Sun Bumian slowly spread his hands, palms upward, as if cradling something invisible. The corners of his black and red Tang suit billowed around him!

There was no longer a trace of his usual playful expression on his face. Instead, it was replaced by a calm and profoundness, as if accumulated over countless ages... He spoke softly:

"Auspicious or Ominous Divination."

An invisible domain swept across the sky with his aura. In his ring-nested eyes, the world seemed to take on a different form...

Gold and black, like mist, permeated every corner of the world, dividing everything. These two colors, gold and black, corresponded to Sun Bumian's raised hands: the gold of his left hand represented "auspiciousness," while the black of his right hand represented "ominousness."

The most elusive fortunes and misfortunes throughout history were presented before Sun Bumian's eyes in their most intuitive form. Any object, living creature, or even empty space displayed these colors; some were gold with hints of black, others black with hints of gold... But there were also a very few entities that were wrapped in only one color.

For example, Jian Changsheng on the ground, exuding an ancient killing intent.

The black aura around Jian Changsheng was so overwhelmingly obvious that Sun Bumian couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, his expression somewhat nuanced.

At this moment, under the cover of the ink domain, the "ominousness" in this area far outweighed the "auspiciousness." Black aura surged, almost obscuring the sky, and it was continuously approaching Sun Bumian!

With a thought, Sun Bumian slowly formed a hand seal in front of him, merging the auspiciousness of his left hand and the ominousness of his right.

"Auspicious or Ominous Divination: Division of Boundaries."

The next moment, the auspiciousness and ominousness within the domain were completely separated from each other, transforming into distinctly defined golden and black auras. As Sun Bumian raised a hand and pointed, all the gold representing auspiciousness surged into the lion dance head in the air, while all the black representing ominousness surged into Sun Bumian's body!

The empty lion dance head, now filled with auspiciousness, had its hand-drawn eyes gain sentience. It swayed in the air, and to everyone's surprise, grew a complete body, its flame-like fur rippling in the wind!

It stepped on auspicious clouds, sweeping across the sky with a roar. Flames rolled over its body, directly incinerating all the ink characters flying towards Sun Bumian into ash.

Meanwhile, Sun Bumian, who had gathered all the surrounding ominousness, had undergone a complete transformation in his demeanor. His previous laziness and relaxedness vanished entirely, replaced by a terrifying dread that inexplicably sent chills down one's spine!

He still stood quietly in his Tang suit, yet heaven and earth seemed to dim before him. Anyone who saw him for the first time would instinctively want to flee...

In his current state, he was the embodiment of all inauspiciousness and disaster in the human realm!

"This guy..." Even Jian Changsheng, in his twelve-times amplified state, instinctively felt wary upon seeing Sun Bumian in this condition.

The ink characters that filled the sky were burned and shredded by the auspicious lion, yet they did not dissipate. Instead, with a thought from Kongwang, the remaining strokes rapidly reassembled in the air, forming a colossal character that filled the sky!

Fire!!

The moment the character formed, a colossal pillar, like the breath of a fire dragon, descended from the sky. Under extreme condensation and compression, the flames were so viscous they resembled lava, instantly engulfing both the human and the lion, and even swallowing Jian Changsheng below!

The flames erupted with such speed and covered such a vast area that Jian Changsheng had almost no chance to dodge. He could only rely on his own body to withstand the scorching heat, and even the blood-colored longsword in his hand began to melt...

Under the high temperature, all of Jian Changsheng's scars were seared shut, leaving no fresh blood to activate the Blood-Droplet Guanyin. The flames licked his body, gradually carbonizing and blackening him!
